Ah, finally – the sun is shining, dogs are roaming, and exams are ending. These things signal that summer is just around the corner, and we can’t be more excited at Her Campus! However, are you really ready for everything that comes with sweet, sweet summertime? Do you have the absolute travel essentials for a spontaneous road trip with friends, or a beach retreat? Well, if you’re starting to worry about being unprepared, stop that! We’ve got you covered with the HC Survival Kit, designed to keep you so fresh, so clean this summer, 2017.
Secret Deodorant
Unfortunately, if we want to spend summer days under the sun, we’re going to have to deal with the sweat and smell that comes with it. No one wants to worry about bad BO on a day out with friends! To make sure you still have friends at the end of the day, always carry your Secret Invisible Solid deodorant, the product designed to last 48 hours and kick in when you need it the most. Plus, the fragrances are ~super~ summery, like Luxe Lavender and Cool Waterlily.
Summer’s Eve
Ladies, although this topic may be a little taboo, we ALL know that feeling fresh down there gets a little tricky when the weather gets warmer. Especially if you’ll be floating in a pool all day or riding in waves at the beach. Don’t let water, sweat and sand get the best of you! Take advantage of Simply Summer’s Eve Gentle Cleansing Cloths to freshen up whenever, wherever. These cloths are designed to work with your body to help maintain a natural pH and rid your cooch of any harmful bacteria. If you’re skeptical of putting anything near your most prized possession, don’t freak – these products are gynecologist-tested, hypoallergenic and safe for everyday use.
White Fur by Jardine Libaire
In need of a summer book recommendation to kick off those relaxing beach days? Look no further, White Fur is just the book you need to fuel your romance drama dreams. Jardine Libaire combines the electricity of Less Than Zero with the timeless intensity of Romeo and Juliet in this searing, gorgeously written novel that perfectly captures the ferocity of young love. Elise, the female lead, grew up in a housing project without a father and didn’t graduate from high school; Jamey, the male protagonist, is a junior at Yale, heir to a private investment bank fortune and beholden to high family expectations. I won’t spoil it for you, but you can imagine the juicy drama that unfolds. Pick up your copy soon, and slip into a reality where you don’t have to worry about your own life for once.
Steripod Toothbrush Protector
This product is an absolute must-have if you’ll be doing any vacationing this summer. Now, you might not know this, but your toothbrush is home to 100 million bacteria including E. coli and Staph bacteria…basically the nastiest things ever that you could be brushing around your teeth. But, if you got the Steripod Toothbrush Protector, your toothbrush would have a safe environment to dry and prevent bad bugs on its bristles. Perfect for protection in your dorm or in a suitcase, the Steripod is the best way to keep your shiny teeth shining.
essence cosmetics – Eyebrow Designer
When I want to go for a natural, summery makeup look, while still looking BOMB AF, I go for mascara, highlight and eyebrows. Sadly, a lot of eyebrow products are heavy and chalky, which will surely melt in the heat of the sun. When I want a light eyebrow that still slays everyone’s lives, I reach for essence cosmetics’ Eyebrow Designer, the eyebrow pencil and comb in one. The attached brush makes it super easy to blend the pencil into your hairs, creating a creamy, effortless look that won’t wipe away with sunscreen, sweat or a towel. As an added bonus, the products are all cruelty-free, which is a MUST in today’s makeup world.
If these products didn’t jazz you up for the summertime, then I don’t know what will! Be sure to head out and pick up these HC essentials to stay as cool as a cucumber this summer.
